At the end of the 1990s, Cuba opened the doors to international tourism as a measure to revive the economy. My parents, born in Viñales, a beautiful town on the island, decided to venture into hospitality and built a humble room for foreign visitors. It would be the best decision of their lives because the family improved financially and we met friends from all over the world. 22 years later we have a beautiful business and it is a pleasure to meet new people every day.

Space

Our house is the perfect place to rest and enjoy an unforgettable vacation in contact with nature and beautiful views of the mogotes. It will have 5 beautiful and spacious rooms with 10 beds, private bathrooms and terrace as well as our bar and restaurant services. You will have our attention and help to organize excursions on horseback or walking through our beautiful valley. From home it is very easy to get to the tourist centers of Viñales, the beach of Cayo Jutías or Cayo Levisa and the Cavern of Santo Tomás.

Service and common areas

In your room you will have a wardrobe, air conditioning, refrigerator, hot and cold water. On the roof terrace and other common areas we have free internet, traditional cocktails such as mojito and cuba libre and our classic Cuban cigars. In our ranch you can enjoy typical Cuban breakfasts. You will be able to enjoy a large green area, where you can walk and enjoy the rural Viñalero landscape.

Interaction with guests

I grew up surrounded by visitors, I enjoy chatting with guests, gaining knowledge and telling them the stories that our land hides, both my parents and I will be available to help you with everything you need not only in Viñales but throughout Cuba, thanks to the With the great experience we have in tourism, I am sure that we can solve almost all of your problems and wishes here.
Neighborhood Overview

Our house is located in a small neighborhood organized and prepared for tourism because all the houses have the same business, this makes the place a very quiet and shiny neighborhood for clients, at the same time it is a 5-minute walk from the center, close to your home. enjoy and far enough away to avoid the night noise of the parties.

How to get around the area

At home and completely free, we have parking in case you arrive here by car, the bus stop is about a 5-minute walk away and if the transfer to the town is by bus, we will wait for you there upon arrival. The town is very small so getting around on foot is a delicacy to get to know the nature that surrounds us.

    Nos hemos hospedado durante 3 noches en la maravillosa casa Ariel y su familia. La casa es preciosa, está bien cuidada, muy limpia, y cuenta con grandes habitaciones y espacios personales para el desayuno. Pero también otros comunes en los que podrás charlar con ellos y relajarte en un entorno agradable sentando en unas mecedoras.
    Ellos nos han facilitado cualquier servio o excursión que quisiéramos hacer en el valle, así como el taxi compartido que nos llevó a Cienfuegos.
    En definitiva, un 10!!!!
    Lo recomendamos sin duda alguna.

    Hemos pasado los dos mejores días de nuestro viaje a Cuba en la casa de Sonia y Berto. Su hospitalidad y la propia casa han hecho que nuestros días en Viñales hayan sido insuperables. Ya lo suponíamos antes de llegar, porque la comunicación con ellos era fantástica, pero lo confirmamos una vez allí. Al llegar, nos ayudaron a organizar planes en Viñales, nos recomendaron restaurantes y nos gestionaron el transporte a nuestro siguiente destino (Cienfuegos).
    La casa está genial situada y es preciosa. Está súper cuidada y limpísima. Además, tienes mucha privacidad, ya que, gracias a cómo está diseñada la casa, cada habitación tiene su baño e incluso su entrada y terracita. Y te limpian la habitación y cambian las toallas a diario!
    El desayuno es delicioso y muy abundante. Café, huevos, pan, jamón, queso, frutas, zumo, mantequilla, mermelada y hasta algún dulce. Todo lo hacen con muchísimo cariño y lo ponen precioso. Sonia es una gran cocinera!!
    Como anfitriones, Sonia y Berto son insuperables. Nos hicieron sentir como en casa desde el primer momento y nos ayudaron en todo. Nos pusieron en contacto con Mingo, un guía para hacer rutas andando por el Valle (de 10!!), volvimos llenos de barro y nos ayudaron a limpiar las zapatillas, nos dejaron un paraguas para ir a cenar…
    Repetiríamos sin duda y solo podemos recomendar la Casa Los Rubio!! Mucho mejor que los hoteles en los que nos hemos quedado en otras ciudades de Cuba.

    Estancia perfecta y unos anfitriones increíbles!

    Nos hemos sentido como en casa.

    Sonia y Cele nos han gestionado excursiones, traslados y recomendado restaurantes y todo ha sido de 10.

    Las habitaciones amplias, un patio para relajarte con una cervecita después de venir de Cayo Jutias o de montar a caballo y donde cada mañana desayunábamos como reyes.

    No tengo mas que palabras de agradecimiento por habernos tratado tan bien y con tanto cariño. Volveremos

    We loved our stay at casa los rubios. The location is nice because it is a bit quieter than most casas that are directly in the city center. The casa is very beautiful and clean. We had the whole top floor which felt like a penthouse with an outdoor terrace with sunset views.
    Ariel and his wife are very warm and welcoming hosts. Nothing is too much and they even helped us a lot when we had car trouble with getting in touch with the mechanics. The breakfast is delicious as well. We absolutely would recommend this casa to any of our friends!

    Abbiamo alloggiato in questa casa per due notti, ospitati dai genitori di Ariel che sono due persone fantastiche e molto disponibili a lasciarti consigli molto azzeccati sulle attività da fare a Vinales. Camere silenziose, molto pulite e confortevoli. Colazioni ricche e gustose per affrontare la giornata a cavallo a pancia piena! Se dovessi tornare a Vinales non avrei dubbi su dove soggiornare nuovamente.

    We stayed in this house for two nights, hosted by Ariel's parents who are two great people and very helpful in leaving you very spot-on advice about activities to do in Vinales. Quiet, very clean and comfortable rooms. Rich and tasty breakfasts to face the day riding with a full belly! If I were to return to Vinales I would have no doubt where to stay again.

    Ariel’s parents had welcomed me warmly, they knew how to advice me about activities I could do in Viñales, I hadn’t planed my trip, so it was perfect. Adding to that, the room was perfectly clean, a thing that really matter for me, so that was great! I would love come back in Ariel’s house with friends or family to show them how beautiful is Viñales! I recommend
